Ryoko Uchiyamada (内山田 涼子 Uchiyamada Ryōko) is the wife of Vice Principal Hiroshi Uchiyamada and the mother of Yoshiko Uchiyamada.
Not much is known about her character as she doesn't appear too many times in both anime and manga, although it can be understood she might easily be a housewife.
It is implied that she may be cheating on Hiroshi with the butcher, and that Yoshiko may not be his daughter.
